Camping in the Keppel Islands offers a serene escape with stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine life. Located off the Capricorn Coast in Queensland, Australia, popular spots like Conical, North Keppel (Kanomie), Humpy, Middle and Miall are our local camping islands where you can enjoy back-to-basic island life to its fullest. The Keppel Islands provide basic camping facilities, walking trails, and excellent opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. All equipment you can hire from us to complete your camping adventure.
Accessible only by boat from Yeppoon or Great Keppel Island, the islands are ideal for nature lovers seeking a peaceful, off-grid adventure and with our barge style vessel, Keppel Adventure, the Keppel Islands have never been more accessible.
Return Island transfers start at $120 (Includes 3 people per booking) with a heap of optional extras including snorkel gear, paddle boards & kayaks, plus our fully stocked camping boxes from as little as $80 per day, with all the camping equipment you’ll need, plus tent hire to make your Keppel Island camping adventure complete.
Permits are required, and campers must bring their own supplies, including water and food, or you can hire a fully stocked camping box from Keppel Dive & Water Sports
